The King George High School Navy Junior ROTC and its longtime senior science instructor, Cmdr. Fred Duckworth, visited several sites at Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren on April 21. Twenty-four students participated in some very hands on demonstrations at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division’s (NSWCDD’s) Electromagnetic and Sensor Systems Department and Engagement Systems Department, and the Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) Police Department.

A full day of activities ensued leaving the cadets with an unforgettable experience and a lot to think about for their futures.

The morning began as it does for many on the base: with a PowerPoint briefing. At the Electromagnetic and Sensor Systems Department, the cadets were briefed by Camille Ward, branch head of the Laser and Weapons Systems Branch, about several pro-

Communication and preparation

Critical components for weathering the storms

By Barbara Wagner NSASP Staff Writer With the start of the 2015 hurricane season a little more than a month away, preparing now for potentially upcoming storms will help ensure everyone in the Navy family remains safe. Despite the prediction earlier this month from Colorado State University climatologists that 2015 will most likely be another slow storm season for the Atlantic Coast, it only takes one storm to wreck havoc in the region. Hurricane Isabel is proof positive of that fact. The September 2003 storm escalated quickly, ultimately causing 32 deaths in Virginia alone, as well as $1.85 billion worth of damage. Both Naval Support Facilities (NSFs) Dahlgren and

Indian Head sustained serious damage in the storm, though fortunately, there were no lives lost on either base.

Preparing now for the potential threat of hurricanes and tropical storms greatly reduces the chaos that can ensue during a weather emergency and could possibly save a life. Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) emergency officials encourage all personnel and residents at NSFs Dahlgren and Indian Head to ensure that they are ready for any weather emergency.

One key factor to weathering any emergency is communication and situational awareness, and there are many avenues to stay up to date with developing storms.

In today’s high tech world, there is always an ‘app for that’ and the Navy Family

Hurricane Isabel slams into the East Coast of the United States on Sept. 18, 2003. The storm caused serious damage at Naval Support Facilities (NSFs) Dahlgren and Indian Head and serves as a reminder that all should be prepared for hurricanes and tropical storms.

Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) offers an app -compatible with most smart phones- that will assist in maintaining accountability of personnel in

the event of an emergency.

The app can be accessed at https://navyfamily.navy.mil/ cas/login; users must have a CAC card to register and login. Another program that

is of vital importance during a regional emergency is the Naval District Washington (NDW) Wide Area Alert System (WAAN), accessible at www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/ ndw/about/waan.html. Personnel are not automatically enrolled in all the features of this service and it is only available to NMCI system users-registration requires a CAC card. This service will alert personnel to emergency situations that have the potential to affect the area though email, text and phone calls. Locally, both King George and Charles Counties have alert systems that will notify users of potentially threatening situations. King George County’s alert system can be accessed at www.kgalert.com and

NJROTC: Discovering future opportunities Continued from page 1

ons precision capabilities and leaned forward, eager to see more of the show.

Their interest piqued, the cadets learned that the directed energy from the laser did not produce sound or light, despite what they might have seen at the movies surprising many who assumed that there would be both. They were allowed to handle a mock, hand-held laser to get a feel for the device without the weight of the fully-functional weapon. From there, the group went next door to see the unit as it would be used against a target vehicle.

There, the cadets were able to see the damage that the laser beam can do as they handled metal plates and fire bricks that had been penetrated by the laser. Impressed so far, the cadets were keen to continue exploring what would prove to be an exciting morning.

Next door at the Laser Weapons and Systems Branch’s Lethality Lab, a live demonstration of what the laser can do elicited even more awe and interest as the cadets were able to get up close to the steel plate immediately after a laser had been discharged into it, as well as viewing how many various mirrors and lenses are used within the system to achieve the desired results. Zoe, a ninth grade cadet, was astonished that so much damage could be achieved so silently and rapidly. “It’s hard to believe that they can do that without any noise at all and such a focused shot!” she stated. From there the

users can also register for numerous non-emergency county alerts as well. Charles County’s alert system is available at www.charlescountymd.gov/CNS and will also provide users with local information and updates.

Utilizing these methods, all personnel along with their families, can receive the most up to the minute information to be safe during an emergency.

For any emergency, a Family Emergency Plan will ensure all members of the family are prepared. The Ready Website, a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) preparation website offers downloadable plans (www.fema.gov/ media-library/assets/documents/34330) for families

group headed to the Engagement Systems Department’s Manned Platform and Systems Branch to explore more of NSWCDD’s diverse missions.

Mike MacDonald, deputy project manager for the Assault Amphibious Vehicle Engineer Support Service Team, explained that his unit’s main focus is rapid prototyping, a strategy that allows the team to “make things quickly and rapidly for the war fighter, not mature technology, but prototypes for them to try out and develop later. We do a lot of rapid prototyping as well as integrating those things that we make on vehicles in the military.”

One clear favorite of the group of cadets was the ability to test out a 30mm can-

non’s control system. Appearing almost like a video game controller and screen, several of the cadets were enthusiastic to try out the capabilities. Several were able to skillfully maneuver the gun turret and ‘target’ the buoys in the river. One young cadet asked what sort of education he would need to be able to be a part of the work undertaken by the Engagement Systems Department. It was clear that the hands on experience allowed for thoughtful exploration of his future plans.

Continuing on the tour, the cadets visited the NSASP Police Department, where Chief of Police Bob Brooks and his officers continued to impress the young visitors. A visit to the practice simulation room and a

chance to challenge each other’s marksmanship and skill allowed for some good natured ribbing along with some well earned respect.

One young cadet named Anthony was able to clear his simulation course with no misses in twelve seconds impressing even the instructor. “Be sure to call me when you graduate!” advised Brooks.

A tour through the weapons room and tactical simulation rooms enhanced by an opportunity to throw a simulated flash bang grenade and use the battering ram was a fantastic finale to their experience. This left many of the cadets with thoughts of how their future plans might fit into the different experiences they had.

Many of the cadets ex-

pressed their definite interest in military service in some form or fashion, while others didn’t envision a military career, but had definite plans for their future. Tyra, an 11th grade cadet at King George High School, confidently stated that it was her goal to become a doctor, but that perhaps after college she might consider serving.

Another cadet was certain that he wanted to be a gunner on an armored vehicle crew but wasn’t sure what branch of service he wanted join or which particular vehicle he’d like to operate.

He was simply anxious to serve his country.

Ninth grader Khadijah had some very mature thoughts on serving her country. “I know where I’m going,” she declared. “I feel like I am obligated to serve after all the military has done for us.” She, her sister Ayana and fellow cadet Tyra - who are both juniors, discussed the benefits of being a member of the military.

“Part of me wants to serve

to create emergency contact lists’ for both parents and children. Navy-focused examples of Family Emergency Plans are also available at www.ready.navy.mil. The plans include knowing who to contact as well as establishing a meeting place so that all members of the family know where to find one another during an emergency. Some suggestions offered are to have a meeting place within the neighborhood - a large tree or identifiable location that is easily accessed - as well as outside of the neighborhood such as a library, place of worship or a school. The site also advises families to choose one person for all members to contact to let the others’ know they are safe, preferably someone who is out of the area to ensure accessibility. Ready.gov also offers a printable family plan (www.ready.gov/sites/de-

fault/files/documents/files/ Family_Emegency_Plan. pdf) that includes information cards for each member of the family that contains emergency numbers. It is vital to keep the information current to be prepared for any event.

Another key factor in preparation is to have a 72 hour kit on hand to prepare for the potential of evacuation or a power outage. Kits should provide all members of the family with non-perishable food, water and medical supplies needed to survive five to seven days in the event of an emergency. As every family has different needs, be sure to take in account any special needs members, pets and elderly members who may need assistance when creating your own kit. The 72 hour kit should be easily deployable as you may need to take your own supplies to a shelter or Safe Haven.

A list of items to include can be found at www.ready. navy.mil/build_a_kit/emergency_kits.html. Also included at the Navy’s readiness site are suggestions for sheltering in place kits in the event that you must find shelter at your workplace or when commuting. It is important to ensure that all perishables such as water, batteries, medications and food are up to date for each season, so be sure to check expiration dates and test all items with batteries when you double check your emergency information.

All personnel who reside on either NSF Dahlgren or Indian Head are required to be responsible for their own evacuation and shelter.

Ensure that you have made the appropriate plans with family or friends further inland before emergencies happen. According to the Navy Readiness site, a Safe

Haven is “a pre-designated location that Emergency Management will activate as warranted for use as temporary protection.” These locations are not usually supplied or staffed, so it is important to bring your 72 hour kit when evacuating. Service members who reside in the barracks and who do not have vehicles or available Safe Haven housing should contact their chain of command to learn about how their organization will ride out the storm or if necessary, evacuate.

While hurricanes can be a major threat in the Dahlgren and Indian Head vicinity, it is also important to be vigilant and prepared during threats of severe thunderstorms, tornados or other weather emergencies that can occur in the region. Electrical power losses can occur during these events and while for most it

because of the benefits, but there are so many other aspects; it’s the whole experience, period!” Khadijah exclaimed as the others nodded in agreement. “You get to travel the world and there are so many possibilities,” she continued. “I want to be a psychologist. I want to be a psychologist in the military, get my training, see the world and when I come back and I’m done, I will have so many stories to tell and I can say that I have experienced things. I won’t be closed off to just one world; there are just so many other things to see.”

From the number of Dahlgren staff the cadets met during the tour who are themselves former King George Junior Navy ROTC cadets, there is a strong chance that at least several of them may find themselves part of the NSF Dahlgren community in the future.

is merely an inconvenience, be sure that if you or a family member has electricdependent equipment that you are prepared for the possibility of a power loss.

The American Red Cross offers suggestions on how to be safe during a power outage (www.redcross.org/ prepare/disaster/poweroutage) including how to prepare for an outage and what to do during the event.

NSFs Dahlgren, Indian Head celebrate Earth Day U.S. Navy photos by Barbara Wagner, Travis Wray, Matthew Poynor and Andrew Revelos

Though Earth Day itself was April 22, service members, civilians and young people pitched in for a series of greenminded events all month in and around Naval Support Facilitis (NSFs) Dahlgren and Indian Head.

The Marines were first to hit the beach when they volunteered their time and effort to keep NSF Indian Head’s shoreline pristine during a beach cleanup April 6. The volunteers, led by Sgt. Tim Solano, were 24 Marines and Sailors from the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF). The CBIRF devil dogs and corpsmen collected 22 bags of trash, two tires and 50 pounds of bulk trash.

Later in the week, a second group up Sailors and civilian employees from Naval Facilities Engineering Command Washington (NAVFACWASH) and Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) collected 20 bags of trash, one tire, and 100 pounds of bulk trash from the NSF Indian Head Marina and the surrounding shoreline.

At Caledon State Park, close to NSF Dahlgren, Navy volunteers joined members of the community for the park’s annual Trash to Art Contest on April 18. Volunteers, including a group of Dahlgren School students, parents and teachers, helped organizers collect more than 1,000 pounds of trash along .7 miles of Potomac River shoreline. After the cleanup portion of the event, the volunteers created works of art from the trash collected from the beach and competed for prizes.

Members of NSF Dahlgren’s Chief Petty Officers Association provided burgers and hotdogs for the tired volunteers at lunchtime.

At NSF Indian Head, Capt. Vincent Martinez, commander the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWCIHEODTD), Ashley Johnson, technical director of NSWCIHEODTD, Cmdr. Chris Zayatz, executive officer of Naval Support Activity South Potomac, and members of the NAVFACWASH Environmental Department planted trees in an Earth Day event on April 21.

The next day, NSF Dahlgren held an Earth Day Celebration at Parade Field; the event highlighted green and renewable technology, native wildlife and plants, and highlighted Earth Day art projects created by students at Dahlgren School. The students and the greater Dahlgren Community--including a local Girl Scout troop-- planted a tree near the school with Capt. Mary Feinberg, commanding officer of NSASP. Bravo Zulu to all of this year’s volunteers!
